Patrycja Humienik's debut poetry collection, \u003cem\u003eWe Contain Landscapes\u003c\/em\u003e, is haunted by questions of desire, borders, and the illusion of national belonging. Bringing music and rich sensory detail to the page, these poems attend to the inextricable link between our bodies and the land. Over six ruminative and lush sections, they survey place and memory, both intergenerationally and through emotional bonds with other immigrant daughters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving in letters, innovative forms, and meditations on devotion, sexuality, and self-deceit, \u003cem\u003eWe Contain Landscapes\u003c\/em\u003e introduces a speaker who \"will not turn away from the ache of this world.\" For every reader who also harbors a voracious longing to encounter infinite landscapes and ways of being, this incisive collection dreams toward a more expansive idea of kinship--of becoming beloved to one another and ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrycja Humienik\u003c\/b\u003e, daughter of Polish immigrants, is a writer, editor, and performance artist.
